2015 Ford Mustang Makes Hollywood Debut

The world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood (formerly Grauman's and Mann's Chinese Theater) hosted the West Coast debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang. The redesigned pony car is a logical step in the evolution of the Mustang DNA that we've become familiar with over the past 15 years. Equipped with a choice of three engines, from a standard V-6 to the obligatory all-aluminum 420hp 5.0L Coyote GT motor plus and the new 305hp (projected) 2.3L twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder.

For the 50th anniversary of the original pony car, Ford redesigned the platform, changing around the rear (independent) and front suspension to not only give better ride, handling, and steering, but also to allow the stylists to redesign with less restrictions. One of the benefits of the new suspension design are bigger brakes.

The event kicked-off with a breakfast and presentation by Ford executives, then the launch of the all-new Mustang. Judging by the photos, the Mustang's gone Hollywood! Millions of people walk past the theater each year to admire the famous handprints and signatures displayed out front, and the Mustang is no different, leaving its tire tracks on a slab of soft concrete.

Later this afternoon, HOT ROD will be headed to Venice Beach for another Mustang celebration hosted by Ford. This car show will be for the general public, so if you're local and want to display your Mustang colors, not to mention get close to the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang, you will be welcomed.
